Well we cant think TOO hard, just not be naive and be blow away by everything. You can enjoy the movie, but if something stupid shows up, you have to be a critic sometimes.

Even if it's unrealistic I still agree with the principle of the average civilian being armed against oppression. But I agree that Red Dawn may be an extreme example.

I think gun ownership is a right, too, though I'm a bit wary of whether that by itself does much about oppression.

I know for sure that it has nothing to do with the Soviets and Chicoms not invading.

The right to bear arms has been around at the birth of this country and instances in other cultures before.
